Value Collection 36683 Threaded Rod 1-8 Unc 3 Ft Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36683 is a full-length threaded rod machined with 1-8 UNC coarse thread in a right-hand thread direction. At 3 feet long and fabricated from low-carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish, this rod is a standard fastening component used across mechanical, structural, and trade installation work. The yellow zinc coating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. Installers use threaded rod to hang pipe, duct, electrical conduit, and equipment from overhead structure or to anchor components through bolted assemblies.

This threaded rod is suited for residential and light commercial trade work including HVAC duct and pipe suspension, electrical conduit support, and plumbing hanger assemblies. The 1-8 UNC thread size is one of the most common coarse-thread standards, making it compatible with widely available hex nuts, coupling nuts, and strut channel fittings of the same thread designation. It is typically cut to length on the job using a reciprocating saw, hacksaw, or cut-off wheel.

Key Features

• 1-8 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard fasteners and fittings
• Right-hand thread direction for use with conventional nuts and couplings
• 3-foot overall length allows on-site cutting to required hanger or anchor length
• Low-carbon steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general support applications
• Yellow zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1-8 UNC threaded rod for use with matching hex nuts, coupling nuts, washers, and strut channel hardware of the same thread size in general mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical support applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod installation is performed by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC mechanics in accordance with applicable codes including NEC, IPC, and IFGC hanger and support requirements. Cut to length using a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, or abrasive cut-off wheel, and dress the cut end with a thread die or file to clear any burr before threading on hardware. Always select nuts and coupling hardware rated for the same thread class and material to avoid galling or cross-threading. Confirm load ratings of the supporting structure and hardware before placing suspended loads.
